Cloud Range beside iluminr: training types and facts side by side
Short answer
Cloud Range sells cyber range and hands-on lab libraries, and, with a condition, tabletop and crisis simulation; iluminr sells tabletop and crisis simulation, and, with a condition, awareness training. They differ on 4 of 4 training types and 6 of 8 checks on the pages we read. This page sets their published facts side by side; it does not pick one.

- No published price and no free tier.
Which one fits which team?
Look at Cloud Range if your SOC needs live-fire practice on a replica of your own network and tools, or if you train teams that defend OT/ICS as well as IT. Look at iluminr if you report exercise evidence to a board or a financial regulator, or if you want frequent short exercises rather than one long one.
